Okay so I have a confession to make.....I am a blog stalker. It is one of my most favorite things to do. So tonight my "early to bed" husband and I went to sleep at about 9:30 and of course I couldn't sleep so I got up and started blog stalking. Now that it is nearly midnight I still can not fall asleep! Well one good thing came out of my blog stalking I found a great quote and I thought I would post it and share it with you! This quote is going to go up in my house somewhere it is just that good!
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed some one's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
Sister Hinckley
I don't even honestly remember whose blog I found this on but whoever it was thanks it really inspired me!
